LTM VE 10.2.3: number of requests per day

Hi all, I need to know the number of total requests per day that the BIG-IP LTM VE 10.2.3 appliance receives. Can anyone tell me how I can know it, please? Thx a lot.

Thx a lot. What I made was to create the following script named total_requests:

 

/bin/date +%d/%m/%y_%H:%M >> /var/local/scripts/total_requests.out /usr/bin/tmsh show ltm virtual raw|grep 'Total Req'|cut -d- -f3|awk '{s+=$1}END{print s}' >> /var/local/scripts/total_requests.out

 

When I run it, it works: [root@F5:Active] scripts /bin/bash /var/local/scripts/total_requests [root@F5:Active] scripts cat total_requests.out 13/01/14_11:42 99

 

BUT when I let crontab run it, it does not work: [root@F5:Active] scripts crontab -l

 

cron tab for root

00,15,30,45 * * * * /bin/bash /var/local/scripts/total_requests

 

[root@F5:Active] scripts cat total_requests.out 13/01/14_11:45 <-it does not appear the value

 

Is there any bug with crontab?

    Debugging cron issues is very low on my list of fun things to do. Try capturing stderr for your tmsh command.
